Tax Identity Theft

Posted on February 5, 2018

Marshall University Information Technology (MUIT) wants to warn the Marshall community to be on the look-out for Tax Identity Theft scams. Many federal agencies are offering information and resources to help consumers learn to protect themselves from tax-related identity theft and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) imposter scams.
MUIT along with the National Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) encourage consumers to review IRS publication Taxes.Security.Together. and NCCIC/US-CERT Tip Preventing and Responding to Identity Theft. Users can also participate in a series of free webinars and chats on avoiding tax identity theft, hosted by the Federal Trade Commission, IRS, Department of Veterans Affairs, and others.
